HOUSE WEFELY MATTERS.

LEMON JUICE THAT WILL KEEP
Squeeze the juice into a basin, then
strain it off, perfectly free from the
least pulp or pith. have ready some
perfectly clean and dry bottles, fill
them just up to theshouider, then add
sufficient sweet oil to cover the top of
the lemon juice entirely. Cork the
bottles tightly, and keep them upright
in a cool place. The bottles must be
small (medicine walls are best), be.
cause when the oil is removed the
lemon juice does not keep long. The
peel will keep if dried and kept from
the dust, and is quite as good to crate.

berries aud strain them through q wet
cloth. Put the juice into preserving
